Its 3.7m x 6m (12ft x 20ft).
-
Warning, it goes for 35 minutes
If you like this sort of thing, enjoy! -
do you have any corded planers? which ones and how do they compare? im actually looking at getting this exact model so any feedback on comparisons would do me a world of good
It's not compared with a corded, but the cordless bosch. Still might be of some interest:

thats pretty sweet Comp, thanks!
I suppose if someone were worried the washer would leave marks on drywall (plaster, where i come from), they could always use a plastic/nylon washer.

Thanks comp. I'm struggling to visualise Tip 2, could you attach a sketch or photo or something?

Should be reviewing the new Dewalt BL HT Wrench and SDS Drill shortly
:D -
Thanks guys
Yeah Mike and family are well at the moment. -
Yeah I know, we were supposed to be retired. But we got a little breathing space until christmas, so you win!
This is a sweet tool, and a freaking awesome review with great close ups of the tool.

i miss the new tool smell on a brushed tool.
Gatorb888, i understand you're take on this. Could you offer an opinion then, as to why the most powerful tools in the market are mostly brushless?Examples, Dewalt's HT wrench. Makita's hammer drill, grinder, impact driver and circ saw, Milwaukee's grinder, circ, recip, HT wrench, rotary SDS hammer.
The only exception that comes to mind is Metabo's grinder.
-
Because nothing promotes equality like sending the message thst your body is what makes you valuable ...
-
again, of course the Makita will win this. The smaller the torque requirement, the easier the Makita will win. If the Gen2 FUEL was out in Aus, I would do a thorough comparison review. Oh well.
-
Thanks William S.
The Dewalt is a very good tool! But we wanted to rank them, and so we looked for the differences. If we were comparing every brands tools, including their brushed tools etc, then the dewalt would have been only a point or two behind the best comparatively. but this was essentially a best of the best comparison.

Max torque hardly matters on an impact in 99 procent of the cases
Yeah, but if you're trying to sink 3/8" or 1/2" lag screws into timber without pre-drilling, the max torque starts to matter a lot. As much as un-drilled lag torque tests look great on video, I just don't think its that common in real life.
Also, unloaded RPM means nothing. Tools need to have enough power behind them when a real world load is applied, to keep those RPMs high enough. This is where the Makita shines, and it really blew me away.
-
It's not a surprising result. The Makita has great power and HUGE RPM. For most contractors (IMO), driving batten screws like that is the hardest job they'll give their impact driver most days.
Will it be a different story driving enormous lags without pre-drilling? We shall see when a more comprehensive comparison is done.
For my money, the tiny Makita with 3600RPM will be very hard to beat for most contractors.

Lol seen it already iv seen all your guys reviews i thought it was a new one and i dont know what you mean by in your signature thats why i asked

Oh! The signature is the bit at the bottom of some people's posts. on this page, I seem to be the only one who has one.
-
I also think that for the moment Milwaukee and Makita are a notch above the other Brands.
That being said i think Bosch and Makita are the Brands that throw the least marketing bullshit around to comfound not knowledgable potentiaal buyers.
Actually I think Metabo take the cake for least Market..y, at least over here in Aus. But I agree with your sentiment.

How can i find the link?

It's in my signature. Here it is anyway:

If you'd like to get a really good handle of the torque difference (and other features), check the link in my signature.
The new monsters (Makita, Metabo, probably FUEL Gen 2) really need to be used with respect. Even the older brushes ones did, but these take it to a whole new level of wrist snapiness.
-
Yep, Makita and Milwaukee are both making really good tools at the moment.
One wants to spend big in marketing, the other doesn't, whatever.
-
I'm just saying anyone can have an old saw with an old blade sitting in it lying around and put it up against a brand new one and feel the new one is more powerful when you can turn a hero of a saw into a dud with a crappy worn out blade.
It's a really good point. A new (thin kerf) blade can make any saw feel so much more powerful. People really love the BlueMak blades that come on the Makita.
-
Well everybody iv talked to who has both saws like the makita more but say they are very close in comparison plus iv seen the makita cut smoother i even posted on here a little clip and you can clearly see the milwaukee bog down well the makita cuts threw smooth soo i dont know iv seen your guys review and it seems like you go off stats and your personal opinions but in reality milwaukee is known for boosting up the stats soo cant really rely on that and also are you guys really testing out the saws cutting wet PT cutting large lumbers making cut aftrt cut? Just wondering but i am not knocking your guys reviews i really like them you guys do a good job but im not 100 percent sure the milwaukee will actually kick the makitas ass

You're most welcome to like the Makita better, there's no right or wrong answer
What stats are there to quote on a circ saw? Neither offer a power rating of any sort. What else can we say but our personal opinions based on our use of the tools? I've used both on the same material with the same blade on the same night, and can say unequivocally that the Milwaukee has a little more guts. It also lasted a bit longer before the overload cut-in (on both saws). Having said that the Makita is lighter and didn't leave dust on workpiece.
I didn't say that the Milwaukee kicks ass. I think you want the Makita to be better and don't like hearing otherwise. Don't worry, I don't mind if Iyou're not convinced, that isn't my aim.
-
Funny with that video how some markets get the vac port on the saw. I guess they have stricter dust regs.
Testing things is so subjective but any time I get a new saw I throw a Diablo on it to replace the OEM blade.
Yep, good plan. We used the same brand new (cheap Irwin) blades on both in our comparison.
-
Yeah when I bought my first Fuel kit I wanted to buy teal but Makita was dead in the water as far as competitive releases. That was a year and a half ago. Times have changed, Milwaukee won't outdo that 6.5" brushless saw any time soon.
In my opinion, Makita didn't outdo the existing Milwaukee 6.5" FUEL saw. But they came pretty close (we did a video comparison of the two).
If you like this sort of thing, enjoy!

Thanks. I just did a big clean up for the video, the next project will destroy it again.
I am a bit obsessed with the shed, always changing things around, displaying new tools etc. I'm a weirdo, like all the other tool nerds here
